Dear Sir/Madam.
Compliment. I wish to extend this mutual business proposal to you with the hope that you will
gladly accept. I am the principal auditor of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. A post
i have held for the past three years.
In the course of discharging my duty last two mouths,i discovered that some government officials
with the Bayelsa state,Governor committed some irregularities in the form of over-invoiced
contract values which eventually got into their private bank accounts.I did not report this ugly
development to the authorities concerned because of the personal interest I have in the
transaction,after all the Governor agreed that i handle the transaction.
What interests me most, and for which reason i am writing you is this particular contract which
was awarded to a foreign contractor by the Bayelsa state Governor and it was overestimated.
This contract has been completed and commissioned and the contractor fully paid, but the over
estimated value of the contract is still lying at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Because of
the haste with which the Bayelsa state Governor has in getting the money out of the country by
him self and he get into problem:

The Governor and other officials through the Governor's personal Adviser recommended that i look
for an international acclaimed personality(Foreign Body)to fices in as the true
contractor/beneficiary to the fund immediately because of the investigation that is going on by
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against the Governor.
>From all indications, there is a great chance of him being incarcerated and following this, he
has personally requested that I commence on an immediate search for a partner.
Having done all the necessary ground work. this money is in my possession and I am looking
forward for a trust worthy person into whose private or company's account this money will be
transferred .I wish to retire from service after this transaction and go into business in your
country through you as my agent.
You are therefore requested to kindly allow us to transfer this money into your account provided
that we can withdraw this money when we want to. Upon the transfer of this money,80% of the total
sum will be for me and my colleagues while 15% shall be for you the account owner and the
remaining 5% shall be set aside to refund expenses made in the course of this transaction . Be
assured that this transaction is 100% risk free.
I await your quickest response as time is of essence in this transaction.
Note:That the amount invoiced is much,if it is what you think you can handle, kindly reply, if
not please do not bother as
we have no time to waste.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Muhammed Nasir.
